Cloudmark Inc., a provider of carrier-grade messaging security, has agreed to buy Bizanga Ltd., the developer of a message processing platform.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

San Francisco-based Cloudmark says Bizanga's technology will help it combat spam. The company, which has offices in London, Tokyo, Beijing and Hong Kong, claims to protect about one billion subscribers for the world's largest carrier networks, including over 75 percent of all major service providers in the United States and Japan. Customers include Cablevision, Comcast, Cox Communications and EarthLink as well MySpace.

Bizanga moved its headquarters in 2008 from Paris, Francs, to San Mateo. As part of the deal with Cloudmark, former Bizanga CEO Jerome Lecat will lead a new spinoff company called Bizanga Store, based in San Francisco and Paris, that will focus on selling already developed email messaging storage technology.
